We’ve been following the release and subsequent updates to pixel art cozy sim The Last Gas Station closely, with our last post reporting on feature updates and new gameplay mechanics. Now, developer Alawar has announced The Last Gas Station: Winter Resort, a brand-new DLC launching on Steam on November 18. Years have passed, and the old gas station has changed hands. Players will return to its familiar grounds as a new protagonist, a raccoon with ambitious plans to turn the little roadside stop into a full-fledged winter resort.
Instead of serving travelers who stay for only a few minutes, players will welcome tourists spending their holidays at the resort. Build an ice rink and ski slopes, organize winter tours, provide cozy accommodation, and expand into new services such as equipment rental and dining.
The Last Gas Station: Winter Resort places a greater emphasis on management while retaining the familiar store, register, and fuel-pump activities of the base game. Players will need to maintain their facilities, manage supplies, develop the resort’s power infrastructure, and eventually recruit automated helpers to keep the growing operation running smoothly. And despite all the changes, the old gas station is not going anywhere – not everyone in the backwoods has switched to an EV just yet.
Key features The Last Gas Station: Winter Resort:
Build your winter resort: set up an ice rink and ski slopes, organize winter tours, and give tourists cozy places to stay.
Open new services: clear out the old store’s back rooms and turn them into a rental counter and a diner. Fit guests with winter gear, manage supplies, order ingredients, and prepare food for hungry vacationers.
Keep the resort running: clear snow, maintain your new services and equipment, and make sure everything is ready for the next wave of guests.
Expand and automate: develop the resort’s power infrastructure and bring in automated helpers to take care of cleaning, restocking, and helping guests.
